As long as you don't have the most brutally cockney accent, most people will find it charming, really.Cockney is the only thing I cannot decipher.
As long as you have a good education (university, hopefully with a little bit of field experience), you should be able to make it here no problem.

>Moving to America
Are you fucking serious? The grass isn't greener on the other side. While the UK is slowly turning into Pakistan. The United States is becoming the new hybrid of Brazil and Mexico. Not to mention, we have a shitload of niggers.
Healthcare in America is still a joke. It's private and you're literally fucked if you have no insurance. Any attempt at creating an NHS in America, you will get angry fat faggots outside with pathetic signs. Wages are pathetic compared to Europe and Australia. Labor unions continue to be busted up. Affirmative action programs make it harder to gain access to a decent job or college. College tuition is overly inflated and the majority of the younger generation are dumb little shits. All you have to do is look at Tumblr. Not to mention, the women here are absolute sluts who can rape you sideways due to no-fault divorce and community property laws.
The United States of Autism is the more accurate name of my country. Come here at your own risk.

Half of America has fucked up colloquial accents anyways (see: Chicago, Brooklyn, the south, western states, Minnesota, Boston, California...etc.). You being British means you understand our language and probably have a decent education. You'll do fine. Just avoid Chicago, Philly, St Louis, Cleveland, and Detroit. Probably Oakland too.

Oh look its the teenage "woe America sucks naive liberal faggot" stage
>Wages are pathetic compared to Europe and Australia
lel Americans have the most expendable income in all of western society. Australian wages are artificially higher and mean nothing since everything is incredibly expensive there in comparison.
Higher minimum wage=higher costs, it fixes nothing and only inflates. There's a reason video games cost so much there. Your median expenses in Australia are on par with the highest cost of living cities and liberal states in America. If you live in Texas or any other industrial breadbasket the costs are nothing. Groceries, housing, tech and utilities are all cheap because of the "evil" capitalistic policies promoting trade and industry.
>Labor unions continue to be busted up
Good you fucking idiot. Labor unions ceased being useful past the 70's. A fucking assembly line worker doesn't need 25/h
>College tuition is overly inflated
Government interference with subsidies and progressive credentialism stressing education so every tard and criminal can now go to school. The policies you likely support
>Any attempt at creating an NHS in America, you will get angry fat faggots outside with pathetic signs
Most Americans pay at least 28% of their income in taxes by time you accumulate sale, property and income taxes. You suggest they shoulder another burden? When we have a ridiculous deficit and were in a recession.
America has its problems like any other nation but you liberal tards sure as fuck aren't helping to remedy them
